The room they gave us was "an out of service room" and they did not realize they were putting 3 people in it with no running water. Broken shower. Holes big enough for a large rat with water damage on walls. Only 3 working outlets and one working heater. The elevator took 20 minutes to stop on my floor and it was incredibly small only fitting 3-4 people tightly. The hotel staff, the older women at the front with lighter hair were very rude, Trish or Tish tried to help us and so did Levi the maintenance man and he got the water on eventually but no hot water and the shower was still broken. They could not accommodate my party of 3 and did not have another room for us or anything to help us out. We ended up getting a refund and moving to another hotel the next night. Stay away from this place!!!!!!! Dont do it!

The heater was broken and the front men did nothing for us. Throughout our staying the whole time the heater was not working and the front men keep said we need to wait until the repair men arrives. And for the other team who had the same issue with their room, they immediately got changed their room cause the front men immediately solved their issue. I’m wonder this is something related to racism. It was not only freezing cold, the room condition was so dirty. The furniture in the room was so sticky and the only chair had some stains and dirts on it. We could not use it. Overall, it was so unpleasant staying and I urge to receive compensation on this reservation. So different from the description and rude attitude of the front men.

The broilers broke as soon as we got there. So we didn’t have heat or hot water. When I asked the front desk gal, she was so rude. Like I should have known that was broken. Our heater in our room had 5 slots for heat to come out and it pushed out freezing cold air and we couldn’t control it. Crack in the wall. Very disappointing for the price we paid.

I tried to call the lobby on the room phone to ask about drinks (if they had any since me and my family did not have any to purchase ) no one answered 3 times even when my mom tried to on her personal phone . (for reference i tried to call them 5 times last month to ask the hotel about how parking was and no one answered that either). so my mom went to lobby to see what was up and confronted they did not answer the phones, the front desk people just shrugged their shoulders and didn’t apologize and acted like they didn’t care , and then it got really really cold in the hotel room because the heater was blowing out cold air, so i called my mom to tell her while she was downstairs with front desk, and they said in response “oh yeah there is something wrong with the boiler” . So we were just fed up with the hotel and left, they said they would give a refund but i would have to contact expedia to get the refund, i then said they refuse to answer phones so how would they know to give a refund, the front desk person said he would leave a note on the booking about providing a refund. When i contacted Expedia they don’t see a note and when they try to call the hotel “shocker they don’t answer “. This was a horrible experience and i explained everything to Expedia , even stating we had to drive all the way home with my little sister who has autism!! It was not easy!! I will be very very angry if im not able to get a refund from Expedia for this terrible service the hotel provided.

Changed rooms immediately after checking in because of no working AC and strong smoke smell. Next room had a boarded up window and a very weak AC unit. The bed had sand (or what we thought was sand) in it underneath the covers. Discovered this late at night after coming back to the room to sleep and planned on checking out the next day and switching hotels entirely. Extremely uncomfortable night of no sleep. The front desk staff was rude, not accommodating, and refused to refund me for the rest of my stay. She only said she would “try” to refund me for the final night (total trip was for 3 nights, only slept there one night). Her argument was “why didn’t you check out of the room in the morning, I could’ve sold this room.” And my response to that is that I had all day plans with no other hotel lined up until the afternoon. I sure hope she wouldn’t have “sold the room” to anyone else considering its poor condition. Seems inevitable that someone else would switch OUT of that room.

We had high hopes for The Gallivant, but our stay was a huge letdown. The photos online are completely misleading and do not reflect the actual state of the property. The prices are comparable to far nicer hotels in NYC, which is honestly laughable given the poor quality. The staff were lifeless and seemed completely uninterested in providing any kind of service. Our room was far from clean – the toilet wasn’t even flushed when we arrived, which set the tone for the entire experience. And in the lobby, they had all the dirty laundry sitting there!! We had originally booked for three nights but couldn’t stomach staying longer than one. We checked out early and went to a Hilton, which not only offered a significantly better experience but also ended up being cheaper. Save yourself the hassle and stay somewhere else. The Gallivant is not worth it.
